While speaking, they arrived at the Thorn Shi Mansion, and the group entered directly through the side door, and walked for a while before they arrived at the back house, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu had not yet gotten out of the car, and they heard a stack of people talking: "Okay, okay, I'm finally back, hurry up and tell Lord and Mrs. Sù to go." ”

Immediately afterwards, Bai and Chen Yuanheng came out of the house. The family reunion is naturally excited, with tears and smiles coming together. Chen Yuanheng and Bai looked at their son and daughter and were happy, and said again that Wen Lin was black and thin, and Wen Hui and Mingzhu were also black and thin.

Wen Hui stuck out her tongue and said, "Father, mother, it's true that you say that my brother is black and thin, he has been to the beach for so many days, can he not be dark?" But where did my sister and I get dark and thin? We can't just stand at the door, we have to let us in. I have a lot more to say. “

Bai Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, I see that I am confused, hurry up and come into the house." ”

As soon as Wen Hui entered the house, she first went through a large number of them, fortunately, it was Bai's style, and the furniture was mainly elegant and generous, but after a closer look, the floor tiles in the room were all blue bricks chiseled, the beams were painted, and the worst ones were painted with gold.

Bai Shi smiled when he saw Wen Hui's eyes and said, "The former assassin of this house has lived in this house for a long time, but his wife in the main room has not come, so it has been empty. Later, his concubine was favored, and when she moved in, she painted gold and silver, and it was like this, and I had already changed all the furniture, but these beams, floor tiles, and the like were not tidy, and they were not their own home anyway, so make do with it. ”

Mingzhu said: "This concubine's level of appreciation is really not flattering. ”

Suddenly, Mingzhu thought that her two half-sisters were not the concubines of her predecessor Thorn Shi? Could it be them?

Bai Shi suddenly spoke, interrupting Mingzhu's train of thought: "Mingzhu, your mother is still in Deqing, so you can live in this mansion for the time being." There are many houses in the house, you sisters can live in the main house if you want, you can also live in the garden, you can go and see it later, and if you pick it, I will let people clean it up, it is all clean. Just put the stuff in there. Soon. ”

Mingzhu and Wen Hui were both very happy and said yes.

Bai looked at his son again, and Chen Wenlin said, "I'll also choose a place for my mother to clean up." It's just that I won't stay for a few days and I'll have to rush to the capital. ”

Chen Wenlin's affairs Both the Bai family and Chen Yuanheng knew that although the Bai family was a little reluctant, they thought that their son was doing a big thing, so they had to agree.

The family talked for a while, and most of them were Chen Yuanheng and his wife who asked them about the disaster relief along the way. Wen Hui and Wen Lin took turns to talk about it, in fact, most of these things were told to Chen Yuanheng by letter, and Bai also knew that he had to ask the details again.

An afternoon passed on that. It's time to eat. Eaten. The family chatted for a while. Before they dispersed, Mingzhu and Wen Hui, Wen Lin first stayed in the wing room next to the main house for one night.

The next day, they walked around the house. The Thorn Shi Mansion is still very beautiful, although it is not as good as the garden of the Yangzhou City Ma family, it is much stronger than the parks that Wen Hui saw in his previous life.

Although Wen Hui was a white-collar worker in a large company in her previous life, she also successfully bought a small three-bedroom in the city where she was located, but compared to here, it is simply rubbish. Wen Hui seems to have come to the Grand View Garden, which has pavilions, rockeries and lakes, and water pavilions. Wen Hui and Mingzhu are very happy. They have seen such gardens too. But it's all someone else's, and this time it's okay, it's your own residence, and you can choose the residence you like.

In the end, Wen Hui chose a yard full of flowers and plants. Mingzhu chose a yard with clumps of bamboo. Chen Wenlin lives in the garden because his sister and sister-in-law are both living. It was inconvenient to go to the garden to live, so I found a yard with a big plane tree next to the main house and lived in as my own house.

After the three of them were selected, Bai immediately called the people to move things.

Wen Hui only had time to take the maids to clean up the things she had bought back from Suzhou City and Yangzhou City.

After finishing her work, that night, Wen Hui went to her parents' room and handed over the pù contract of the shop she bought in Suzhou City to the Bai family for collection, and reconciled the accounts with the Bai family. Only then did he talk to Bai and Chen Yuanheng about something else: "Father, what do you mean by the Ma family inviting me and my brother to play like this?" ”

Chen Yuanheng sighed and said: "This Ma family is the emperor's most trusted person. The emperor and the queen mother have never been close, but they have a good relationship with the nursing mother, so they treat Ma Jingren more closely than they treat several half-princes. Back then, when the emperor was still the crown prince, your eldest aunt was already the prince Liangdi, and she was very favored, and Ma Jingren once helped your eldest aunt at that time. However, later, the prince born to your eldest aunt died young, and your eldest aunt also fell out of favor, so the contact was broken. But listen to your aunt, this Ma Jingren is very smart, I think he is on good terms with us in advance, in case we succeed, he will have one more way, in case of failure, it's nothing, he just invites you to visit the garden, don't worry, there are not 10,000 people who go to his garden every year, there are 1,000. ”

Wen Hui laughed: "I just said that this Ma Jingren is an old fox, and that's true." ”

Chen Yuanheng continued: "After the four princes returned to Beijing, the emperor gave a great commendation and publicly praised the four princes for their good disaster relief at the court meeting. He also allowed the four princes to follow the court in the future and learn to do things. ”

Wen Hui said: "Then now the courtiers should consider the matter of standing in line." ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled and said: "Half a month later, the third prince came back, and spent countless amounts of money, but as a result, many people died in the local area, and the emperor was furious and punished the palace chiefs around the three princes. ”

Wen Hui was surprised: "These three princes spend so much money, why haven't they done things well?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "This is because the third prince just kept spending money to open a warehouse and release grain, giving porridge to the people, and did not replant crops and resume production, so as soon as he went to the next place, didn't the people who had no porridge to drink still starve?" In addition, he did not identify the situation of the magistrates, and there were many corrupt officials who were greedy for food, and of course the people starved to death. ”

Wen Hui said hatefully: "These corrupt officials who ignore human life are really hateful, this incompetence, and the three princes who sell their fame and reputation are even more hateful." ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded.

Wen Hui asked again: "Father, is the situation in our Huzhou good?" My father must have done a good job of disaster relief. ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed: "Don't be a sycophant." Of course, I have money and food here, and the corrupt officials have all beheaded their homes, and the officials under my command are all people who have experienced two disaster reliefs, and they are all familiar with it, so they are naturally quick to do it. In fact, the best is still Deqing, this is already autumn, Deqing not only did not affect this year, but also had a bumper harvest. Mainly because we are planting new hardy species, and the water from the canals is always available. In a few other states, it was stricter, but I asked the people to replant food and pay for work, so very few people starved to death. “

Wen Hui nodded. In this backward place, it is good to be able to do this. After taking such a closer look, Wen Hui found that her father was dark and thin, and he must have worked hard.

Chen Yuanheng said: "It's your mother who has made a great contribution, she quickly established a good relationship with the officials and relatives of Qingyang City and the families of wealthy businessmen, which made it easier for me to act, and also raised a lot of money and food for me, and raised money to build a hospital in Qingyang City." “

Wen Hui was very happy about this question, and hurriedly told Bai Shi about the discussion with Mingzhu on the road.

"That's a good idea," Bai said. In fact, Mingzhu's family doesn't need to sell the house in Deqing, because according to your Aunt Hu's temperament, it must be Deqing and the two hospitals in Qingyang City will take turns in the future. Just keep it. It's time for the pharmacy to expand. This disaster relief has made Jishitang's reputation outstanding. Because the pills given by Jishitang for free have cured many victims, there are now more people buying pills. Many pharmacies from other places go to Deqing to buy goods. “

Wen Hui was very happy to hear this and said, "This is better, so that Sister Mingzhu can make more money." In fact, Sister Mingzhu is very good at saving money, and all the money saved is used by Aunt Hu for the poor patients in the hospital. ”

Bai said with a smile: "It's nothing, anyway, your Aunt Hu still left a dowry for Mingzhu, and I invested the 20,000 taels of silver into the real estate next to the market, and now it has more than doubled." After all, this trading market is much better than the one in Ancheng, and the people who come and go are all big businessmen, and the price of natural real estate has also risen, if you sell it now, your sister Mingzhu may be able to have more dowry from your Aunt Hu back then. ”

When Wen Hui heard this, she hesitated for a moment, but said honestly: "Mother, I was just about to tell you, Sister Mingzhu has a crush, and that person may come to ask Sister Mingzhu for marriage soon." ”

This news was so shocking that Bai and Chen Yuanheng were very concerned and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Wen Hui said: "It's Liu Gongzi." ”

Then Wen Hui told her parents about it. After hearing this, Bai Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Mingzhu, this girl is good, she is worthy of being a righteous daughter taught by me personally, the rules and etiquette are very good, although I also like this Liu Gongzi, but I can still hold it, and I don't give it privately." In this way, as long as Liu Gongzi's parents come to ask your Aunt Hu for marriage, it's fine. ”|

Chen Yuanheng said: "Actually, I admire Liu Gongzi very much. Handsome, intelligent, versatile, elegant, kind, good-natured, careful, meticulous, and with unlimited future prospects. And it's rare that his family is also very good. Innocent, small wealth is safe, the population is simple, and there are no filthy things. It's a pity, I was very optimistic about him. But it's not bad to say that my righteous daughter is also my son-in-law. After speaking, he still looked regretful.

Wen Hui thought about it for a long time before she realized that her father wanted to find Liu Jingyuan for herself, which was really thunderous.

Yesterday I was tired to death, and the four watches were too challenging.
